So I don't add to the already hijacked thread below.
if I followed everyone they agreed that if the ball hits the catcher's mitt 1st and then bounces wherever and is then caught by the catcher it is a foul tip. I have two questions,
1) If there are less then 2 strikes (with 2 strikes it is a matter of symantics, foul tip caught 3rd strike or caught ball in foul territory don't matter batter is out) if the ball nips the batt then strikes the catchers mitt then face mask and richochets up 15 feet (man that girl can throw heat) and the catcher makes a diving catch we are going to only signal foul tip strike 1 or 2?? Hello coach, have any of you made this call?
2) In the hijacked thread there was talk of the ball hitting the mitt or equipment and then hitting the umpire and then being caught. This would not be an out as hitting the umpire is considered as hitting the ground so it would be a foul ball no matter what wouldn't it?
